Local sky character in San Salvador de Jujuy
Southern mid-latitudes · southern hemisphere · 1217 m elevation
- The south celestial pole stands 24.2° above the horizon, so stars within 24° of it never set from here.
- About 70.5% of the whole sky rises above the horizon at some point in the year from this latitude.
- The Milky Way's core in Sagittarius culminates about 85.2° up, passing almost directly overhead.
- The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are circumpolar here — visible on any clear, dark night of the year.
- At 1217 m elevation, roughly 13% of the atmosphere's mass is already below you, which measurably reduces extinction near the horizon.
San Salvador de Jujuy is a mid-sized urban area — bright constellations and planets work from town; faint deep-sky objects need a drive out.
